Trying to avoid returning straightaway to Wolverhampton Bus Staton, we are limited as we seem to only have short radial services within walking distance, so we head to the southbound Mill lane stop on Cannock Road (11 mins / 0.5 mile), where we board NXWM service 11 at 1922. We alight at Fallings Park Railway Bridge at 1927 on Saturday.

With no other services within walking distance at this time on a Saturday we await the next journey on NXWM service 59 at 2011.
Becoming desperate to escape the Wulfrunian suburbs, we alight at Wolverhampton Bus Station at 2036 on Saturday.

Exiting the station, we immediately find the Witton Station bus stop, from where we board NXWM service 11A at 2308 (being careful not to board the journey immediately in front at 2258 as it doesn't go where we want!). We alight at Bearwood (Hagley Road West, stop BP) at 2337 on Saturday.
